Faith

But his connections and powers run deep.

We

Reagan’s pack must come together and be willing to sacrifice everything to save mankind. But along the way, she’ll suffer heartache.

Anguish for herself and those closest to her.

Fight

Still, nothing can stop what has been foretold. Fate has determined the end game, but divine intervention supports the victor.

Tia Silverthorne Bach has been married to her college sweetheart for twenty years, has three beautiful girls, and adores living in sunny California. Her daughters were born in Chicago, San Diego, and Baltimore; and she feels fortunate to have called many places home. She believes in fairy tales and happy endings and is an avid reader and rabid grammar hound.
She is an award-winning, multi-genre author and an Editor for Indie Books Gone Wild. From an early age, she escaped into books and believes they can be the source of healing and strength. If she’s not writing, you can find her on the tennis court, at the movies, reading a good book, or spooning Jif peanut butter right out of the jar.

As I sit here to write my review less than 24 hours after binge reading Chasing Eternity, my emotions are still raw. I have loved this series since the beginning and now I have read the final book and my feelings are bittersweet. I am happy that I finally know how Reagan faired in her destiny , but sad that there will be no more stories with the characters that I have grown so attached to. This group of "heroes" that were thrown together to save the world from evil, have attached themselves to my heart. I feel like I'm saying goodbye to an old friend. Thank goodness I can reread the series to visit them again.

Chasing Eternity is everything a final book in a series should be. It has tragedy, hope, love, loss and the epic battle of good vs evil. I seriously cried so hard that I could barely continue to see the words on my kindle, but I couldn't put it down. At times my heart sank and I thought NO how can this be happening? Moments later I would feel like chanting their mantra "With faith, we fight." The intensity of the final battle did not let me down. I could visualize every detail as if I were in the forest fighting by their side. "The fate of the world is in our hands."

Tia Silverthorne Bach has really pulled off the most amazing conclusion to this series. I may be heartbroken that it's over, but she hit it out of the park with Chasing Eternity. I highly recommend this series and urge you to have a box of tissues on hand. It's one heck of a ride. I leave you with a couple of my favorite quotes.

"I'm chasing my eternity. But really, arent we all?"

"Faith isn't easy. Nana told me once it's called a leap of faith for a reason. You can't have it standing still."

When two world collide at the edge of the sea in a measure of desperation, a prince will bow before a commoner and a lost soul will be finally be found. Part of Your World - Where love is waiting just beyond the edge of what you can see.

The Marauded Mariner’s Hymn

Gods of sea and gods of light,

Let me be another night.

Up and down the ravaged shore,

Let me seek my love once more.

Among the debris lay things so still,

Things that make me pale and ill.

What is stone and what is bone?

The sea hisses and howls, I am alone.

But waves and peril will not shake my hope,

My love is stronger than a hangman’s rope.

Despite the call from briny throats.

I never forget its hope that floats.
